title: [Investigations correlating age and selected vascular risk factors in primary glaucoma based on screening data the Medical Diagnostics Center DOLMED in Wroclaw].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the study was to investigate the associations of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) features and level of IOP with age and selected cardiovascular risk factors: systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BPs and BPd), heart rate, hematocrit and cholesterol level, diabetes, body mass index.
  
  
  METHODS
  The retrospective study of 11,989 persons (mean age 37.7 years +/- 11.6) was based on data of Medical Diagnostic Center DOLMED in Wrocław. All data were analysed statistically.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Positive statistically significant correlation was found between BPs, BPd, cholesterol level and GON. Significant differences were proved in the BPs/IOP and BPd/IOP rations and the groups with and without GON. Mean IOP was higher in the group with GON. Positive relationship was found between cardiovascular risk factors and IOP level. There was no positive correlation between level of IOP and age of the analysed group.
